They really have different utilities and artworks (not sprites lol) the thing would be pair them with effects and or decide custom ones

For this I find them really cool. If @quasi notch likes them I think it's posible to pair some of them, as there is one that rise attack, some maybe give hp...
Some to run away. Ad even one to attack all enemies so autopick
stuck gulch
The one issue I see is how a few of them will have to fit as HP restore buffs, lul.

?
Will check 1 question and then do a sprite of one of them, (mart, choose the one that you like better, and then remind me to send a pics I have)
stuck gulch
Why make a sprite ?
quasi notch
I can get the full list (at this moment) tonight, not at my pc anymore
I think I have about 40 now
stuck gulch
desert lodge
Why make a sprite ?
He wants pixel art, this artworks are too big and other style
stuck gulch
Ah. Meh.
desert lodge
Isn't 40 a bit overkill?
quasi notch
They go fast when you create some niche ones
quasi notch
This is the current list
I tried converting one of those orbs into a pixel image (see the one at the bottom)

Tried same using the style we use for underground items (well a variation if you check outline color) this is the orb that is supposed to allow you to leave battle
quasi notch
I'll try it out during my lunch break
quasi notch
@desert lodge Looks really nice imo.
We'll just need to make sure they are distinct enough so that they are easily recognisable, but I like the style
Just added it to a random modifier
desert lodge
<@272336444297707521> Looks really nice imo.
We'll just need to make sure they...
Dunno if there are 40 different or we will need to make custom ones
As I said that's the one more logic for forfeit because the real effect, now will be the work of pairing
stuck gulch
40 is too many for the wonder orbs to be used, I think.
quasi notch
I'm also not sure if they are visually distinct enough to quickly differentiate which one is which
And the HP potions could already just use the Restores we already have
desert lodge
40 is too many for the wonder orbs to be used, I think.
Some as basket of balls can be, you know, a basket with balls...

@tame osprey
also dont forget that these mons need a shiny version, other than the obvious regular shiny color you could look at some clothes color changes like drakay does
Current status
iirc jostav said he would try to tackle zacian

<@305776563801030657>
omg thats my girls!
desert lodge
I sent raboot like 2 months ago?
Resending. @stuck gulch can you ping red telling them, he didn't notice I shared this long ago... Each their own I guess...
desert lodge
Sorry to use you as intermediate, didn't know a better way to get him to get what he asked for...
tame osprey
@desert lodge did you have a specific plan for how you chose the clothes' shiny colors?
desert lodge
I did have a pattern purples to magenta and red to blues based upon pant version of zorua
I had almost forgot waiting for 2 months for red to say raboot was good to make the shiny...
coral cliff
Oh I didn't notice
coral cliff
Sorry to use you as intermediate, didn't know a better way to get him to get wha...
I read your message when you're so friendly to help me
vivid ruinBOT
coral cliff
omg thats my girls!
What trainer sprite do you wanna represent you in the credits
tame osprey
a full body or an overworld?
coral cliff
Overworld
tame osprey
ok but like.... do you see the vision?
I'd have to cobble together a Wartortle from this artwork from Pokemon Tales and the Squirtle Squad jackets.
desert lodge
This wasn't asked... As threads are harder to search maybe keep only requested art here
tame osprey
For sure. So now it's only... Charizard, Hoopa, and Lucario? Are we doing Marine Greedent to flesh out the crew?
coral cliff
It's currently not planned for
Galar already has 4 of the pirates
That's the most out of any region
surreal junco
could maybe use something like the Red Card for the cash in effect (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Red_Card)
technically the eject button would work better but we're already using the image for the explosive charge
- leftovers for the Heal Over Time effect
desert lodge
Would be interesting to have a list with the posibilities blinded
quasi notch
Could someone create sprites for:
- Shadow Mewtwo (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shadow_Mewtwo)
- Mega Shadow Mewtwo (https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Shadow_Mewtwo#/media/File:Pokkén_Mega_Shadow_Mewtwo_X.png)
- Shadow Synergy Stone (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FIhbouKNPuc/maxresdefault.jpg)
Both the pokemons would also need their shiny sprite.
And the syngery stone will act as a mega stone, so it should follow that style and measurements.
Redzep also already mentioned a sprite here: #general message
tame osprey
I was wondering about him
coral cliff
@barren osprey are you still interested in doing the pirate zacian sprite
edgy plank
watermelon electrode

i would need a pokemon shuffle icon for this tho

<@272336444297707521> could you please make me a pokemon shuffle icon of this?
Probably the Monday I can try.
tame osprey
Hell ye! I was going to try for Charizard, but its render lacks a lot of charm and motion. Great work!
That said my monitor might be kaput rn so. Unsure when I will be back on the grind 🙁
edgy plank
Probably the Monday I can try.
Aight cool
stuck gulch
Mind if I ask your plan ?
edgy plank
Its going to be a berry trade mon in the mawvile berry shop for watmel
stuck gulch
That would have been my guess, lol.
edgy plank
Originally gonna make it a watmel wanderer but wanted to tie it in more with where it came from in the anime
stuck gulch
Both are fine by me.
tame osprey
What if there was an orange voltorb. Or the electrode had a twisty melon stem
coral cliff
It's based on this anime episode
tame osprey
Oh wowzer
quasi notch
Could someone create sprites for:
* Shadow Mewtwo (https://bulbapedia.bulbagard...
If someone wants this, it’s also still up for grabs
desert lodge
when i fiish my current load work i will have more free time, but that is going to happen from today to tomorrow 23:59
turbid siren
I'm doing some homework. I do feel like trying to sprite more so maybe at night I'll try one of the 4 missing (pirates)
well, probably not Zacian because Jostav
turbid siren
@coral cliff hope you like em
coral cliff
How about changing the golden pieces to a silver/platinum in the shiny? I feel like they get a bit lost in the shuffle
turbid siren
I already did try that. It looks worse
That was the best colour
Tried a few. Even pink lol
coral cliff
Pink, for the metal? Lol
turbid siren
Yeah I tried a few. Green. Pink. Purple. Cyan.
That light brown was the best and I left it there
turbid siren
Probably not. Not on my PC lol
stuck gulch
Old Sinnoh map leaked.
edgy plank
i, ehm, made a mistake
how?
coral cliff
misclick
what i do to add the shiny is open the original file, move one directory up and then navigate to shi(nypokemon) -> enter
i must have missed the h and instead overwritten the sinnoh.png file
tame osprey
U need any people pirates? Captain Crook or the Phantom?
tame osprey
aye aye
dim oriole
@coral cliff you still need those shiny versions?
If so can you shoot the normal versions over to me
dim oriole
Ill see if I can cook (I cant)
coral cliff
<@386562515112427521> you still need those shiny versions?
Raboot is the only one missing the shiny version, hoopa Zacian and cinderace miss regular sprites
desert lodge
Raboot is the only one missing the shiny version, hoopa Zacian and cinderace mis...
I will do when I have time is half done. But as you ignored the normal I forgot.... Would be nice to remind instead ask another person...
coral cliff
I didnt ask another person, i was clarifying
I know you said that the shiny sprite wasnt done
tame osprey
I got a little start on hoopa.
tame osprey
we hoopin'
turbid siren
With those blank eyes it looks so ominous
stuck gulch
It's no longer just mischievous. 
Pirate Hoopa Day : everytime you come across Hoopa, your currencies are reset.
tame osprey
it sees now.
turbid siren
I think it needs a more pronounced shading
Or maybe it looks weird to me because not many outlines are black
tame osprey
u know what that's tru af
tame osprey
turbid siren
Yeah that looks better
coral cliff
I feel like the greyish inner face is missing some kinda outline as a border to the outer pink? Idk if it's just weird phone moment
tame osprey
coral cliff
Looks good to me but I'm willing to wait for other people's opinion
turbid siren
I still feel it needs more black
But maybe I'm wrong 🤔
The shiny looks nice so I dunno, maybe it's because the Pokémon is too pale for my liking
But that's how it is by default
tame osprey
But that's how it is by default
looks like you have a point. There's a lot of difference in the colors its portrayed with.
the one used in PokeClicker right now is more on the pale side, and the artwork on Unite renders can be a lot lighter than is entirely accurate.
turbid siren
Oh yeah looks better
tame osprey
Could someone create sprites for:
* Shadow Mewtwo (https://bulbapedia.bulbagard...
I'm not suuuper happy with it, but it works for now I guess?
tame osprey
threw together some kind of Marine Greedent too.
coral cliff
@barren osprey @desert lodge the event time of the pirates is slowly coming up and we would like for the PR to be merged before that time. Do you think the remaining sprites can be finished until end of next month
barren osprey
<@823666951565344828> <@272336444297707521> the event time of the pirates is slo...
yes i should have a lot more free time in may but will definitely try to finish it as soon as i can 👍
coral cliff
Appreciate it
desert lodge
As soon as alcohol reduce in my blood I will make it
coral cliff
thank you vm
desert lodge
coral cliff
he looks cool
coral cliff
Will you also make the cinderace sprite?
desert lodge
Yeah, but maybe until next weekend might not have time
coral cliff
Yeah all good, the one week does not matter in that regard
desert lodge
But I will need you to resend the reference
stuck gulch
turbid siren
For a moment I thought Martius had done the Cinderace lmao
stuck gulch
Oops. 
stuck gulch
I like second one better.
tame osprey
same lol
let me... let me do some more finagling
does that sell the idea of a glowing container more?
or rather something glowing inside a container
quasi notch
Second looks better, but first seems a bit more clear to show that it glows from the inside
barren osprey
does that sell the idea of a glowing container more?
glow = light source, so if you want to make it look more glowy then add harsher shadows. making the light source more white might also help, but i'm less sure to label that as general advice
tame osprey
I was hesitant about the shadows since they don't really feature in existing mega stones, but, I can take a hwack
tame osprey
lighter inside
stuck gulch
I like it.
quasi notch
Me too
tame osprey
alrighty 🙂
barren osprey
sharing some progress before i go to work. broad strokes first, then details
coral cliff
coral cliff
I've seen Jostav post a pretty good update on the Zacian in offtopic
What about the cinderace sprite
@barren osprey @desert lodge
barren osprey
goal is still end of the month right? i'm trying to be consistent and do a bit every day. worked on tail and paws a bit now
i want to show off the belt buckle but it's admittedly a hassle too
also dreading the hair locks.. struggling how to best position them
tame osprey
I know this basically counts as redlining your art without you asking, but just for illustrative purposes, like... maybe flowing back behind the sword? The image has a lot of energy, like he's pouncing at you. I didn't do a great job lol, but I'm not as familiar with Zacian, so I wasn't sure where his ears are.
I guess it would have some to do with where his ears are pointing. idk.
like this
barren osprey
I don't mind at all lol
The problem i have is how to position them as to not cover up the details of the body. The reference image I'm using has them kind of swoop around so I'm trying something like that, but like you said i want to keep it looking dynamic too. Kinda like your third pic there
coral cliff
So uh if anyone is interested in making the cinderace pirate sprite
barren osprey
yeah should be doable (pic is concept). gotta finish up zacian though
if anyone wants to work on cinderace before i actually get to it just let me know
tame osprey
I'll take a whack
tame osprey
that's probs all I can do today
summer niche
the unite ball is a nice touch
barren osprey
i like the more vibrant orange. looking good!
tame osprey
thank you!
tame osprey
coral cliff
That makes it only Zacian to be finished?
tame osprey
two bonus boys for you
also what's a good Pokeball to use for Cinderace shiny? I feel like I should change it
summer niche
the shiny sprites aren't perfectly aligned with the normal sprites
greedent is a lil southwest and golurk is a lil above
tame osprey
I figured it fit the pirate theme because its a canon lol
summer niche
cannon golurk is an official state it's taken in the anime
and pokepark 2 apparently
tame osprey
I know you had some misgivings about Greedent awhile back due to variant balance issues, but I'd counter with Galar being unlikely to have many more variants going forward. Just by virtue of the decrease in licensed content since the original Pokemon boom and GameFreak's crackdown on brand cohesion, Kanto is just kind of destined to have a heavy skew. I started working on it before Chef Greedent was revealed, but I didn't figure it specifically would have much else going on for it.
TLDR, I think it good to have more non-Kanto variants due to their scarcity.
But this is your vision, don't let me pressure u or anything. k?
floral copper
coral cliff
Let me think about it, I didn't include all unite alts like mamoswine and I think Dragonite (and greedent)
The distinction was
Captain holowear or marine holowear
While mamoswine and greedent are somewhat pirate adjacent dnite doesn't fit the theme at all
So all marine holowear got the boot
summer niche
dragonites so cute tho 😭 look at his lil outfit
tame osprey
I have zero experience with Unite so I thought Greedent was the only one left out. I guess I assumed they added all the marine/captain/nautical themed stuff at once
also Dratini is too precious in his little sailor costume
keen rose
Just curious but, if unite released more Captain skins, would they also be added?
stuck gulch
Potentially ? If they're noticeable enough and can be added in an interesting way, then yes.
barren osprey
with or without highlights?
turbid siren
summer niche
its almost unnoticeable when the image is so small
tame osprey
Yowza that absolutely eats!
